Old Dell E228WFPc monitor won't work as 2nd monitor

[Pat_P]

Hi,

That’s great! I am glad that helped to get the displays both up and working!

If I leave this setup alone, will it automatically come back when I restart or power on my laptop?

Yes, the displays should maintain their settings after disconnecting the docking station and reconnecting, or shutting down overnight, or both.

The 228 screen matches the laptop screen as desktop with no icons. Newer monitor has all of my open tabs . I was able to drag 1 of those tabs to 228 successfully but picture full is stretched too wide when go full screen.

I am not exactly sure what is going on here, would it be possible to attach a picture of the displays when this error is happening? For example using a cell phone camera? If you would rather not post a picture publicly, please feel free to attach it as an email to our support team at ‘support@plugable.com’ with the subject line ‘#306791 - Attention Pat’ and I will take a look a the issue as you are seeing it and get back to you with some possibilities for resolving it.

Thank you,
